Senior Security Advisor enhancing security measures to align with corporate objectives at Desjardins. Leading development of strategic initiatives and overseeing best practices in security.
About the role
- Security Architect defining security architecture standards and controls for Intelance. Collaborating across architecture teams to enhance security governance in a hybrid role.
Responsibilities
- Work with Enterprise, Solution, Data and Integration Architects to define the client’s security architecture baseline across key domains (identity, access, network, application, data, logging, monitoring).
- Review current security posture for key systems and integrations and identify gaps and risks relevant to EA decisions.
- Define security architecture principles, patterns, and controls to be applied at each design stage (HLA, HLD) and at the Architecture Review Board (ARB).
- Create and maintain security checklists, design templates, and decision logs used in the EA workflow.
- Provide security input into 1-2 pilot projects going end-to-end through the new EA governance process, including review of HLA/HLDs.
- Ensure that designs address key non-functional requirements (authentication, authorisation, encryption, logging, monitoring, resilience).
- Collaborate with the GRC team to ensure EA governance supports relevant standards and frameworks (e.g. ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls).
- Advise on priorities for security improvement in the application and integration landscape, and help shape a realistic security roadmap.
- Contribute clear, versioned security artefacts into the EA repository (policies, patterns, reference diagrams).
- Explain security implications to non-security stakeholders in a clear, practical way that supports decision-making.
Requirements
- 7+ years’ experience in Security Architecture, Security Engineering, or related roles.
- Strong understanding of security architecture domains (identity and access management, network and perimeter, application security, data protection, logging and monitoring).
- Proven experience reviewing and influencing system and integration designs from a security perspective.
- Good knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, or similar.
- Ability to produce clear security requirements, design guidelines, and review comments that solution teams can implement.
- Comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders (IT, GRC, business) and negotiating trade-offs.
- Excellent communication skills in English and comfortable working in a hybrid model (remote plus occasional on-site visits to Casablanca and/or London).
Benefits
- Central role in embedding security by design into a new Enterprise Architecture capability for a major engineering and project-delivery group.
- Work in a small, senior team that values practical, risk-based decisions over box-ticking.
- Hybrid working model - remote by default, with focused on-site trips to build relationships and support key workshops.
- Opportunity to work across Intelance’s wider Cybersecurity, EA, and AI portfolio and influence how security is built into our methods.
- Competitive compensation with options for freelance / Ltd company engagement or longer-term collaboration.
- Direct access to Intelance leadership and the chance to help shape our security architecture playbooks and accelerators.
